'Deep Sherwood Metallic' (There's a Feather Duster across town with this one, it's a nice 'dark Hunter green' look).Quote: F16: Unknown fleet/heavy-duty code, possibly alternator-related
That's an alternator code, it's for one that's under 80 amps...but not the little 46 amp wonder...Sounds like a good car... -D.Idiot |

Oh, either that or I should get my next decoder ring out of a box of cereal that's not past its "eat by" date.

That's a good one. There are many lists of fender tag codes out there, and each one seems to contain different omissions and errors, so I like to cross-check codes I'm not completely sure on, to see if I can at least come up with a consensus. Paint codes aren't provided on any of the fender tag code lists, so (when I remember, thanks DI) I grab the paint code off the fender tag, head over to www.autocolorlibrary.com , look at the paint chip chart for the year and make in question, find the fender tag paint code and retrieve the paint supplier's colour code from the relevant chip. |

F16 is for a 34 amp alternator KG8 - The "K" is for the year that shade was introduced, in this case the 1974 model year. It is a slightly different shade from 1973's JG8 (Dark Green Metallic). KG8 was also used in 1975-76 |
